powerfloat mean direct finish on concrete. power float is a machine look like helicopter but upside down 1. after u cast concrete, then u will use this "helicopter" to spin on the floor make it smooth. hence no need do additional floor screed after concrete cured.

power float + floor hardener mean u spread the floor hardener powder on the floor slab when the floor slab concrete still not yet set (not yet dry and hard mean) and then power float it. it is like a coating to concrete floor. have strong mechanical properties. hardly crack. can stand heavy duty implication. in residential and commercial building, normally it is use on car park.

power float machine aka "helicopter"

factory, car park with bear finish usually use that. heavy duty. cement screed require when u have some finishing on top such as tile, timber floor, carpet and etc.

1. actually I no idea the exactly function of lacer bar in beam. usually it used to hold the "cage" prior concrete casting. ensure the beam "cage" is in correct shape and position prior concrete casting.

2. bonding tie is also use to hold the rebar. in case when casting concrete it give way go to left or right. it need bonding tie till full length base on the spacing mentioned in the drawing. however if u mention those exposed starter bar that reserve for future then it's just few layers.

u mean S1 in the picture below right?

poundage is for temporary estimation / general checking only. engineer got their own structural design when come to this. (eg. the area of the steel and area of beam when come to section got certain ratio to comply therefore poundage is relate but is not 100% accurate) and also depend on the loading the poundage figure might deviated a lot.

No problem. Most shoplots are like this also. With single staircase only. Make sure that the walls are fire-rated. Only you need to make sure the distance between the two front doors are space adequately according to by-laws.

market rate lo. coz if u don't want eat this piece of cake, other will. maybe other offer lower. 0.5% is 750k what.

Hi guys, I am civil engineering undergrad but throughout my studies I was never into doing design.Is there any alternative career pathway for civil engineer other than working in a consultancy firm. I guess working as a site engineer will be quite tough for me to perform coz i am a female. Plus I have ardy experienced working at a site during my internship. To be frank, working under hot sun for a long period of time was a horrible experience for me. So both of the most common routes for civil engineers seem not interest me.

I feel so regretful for pursuing civil engineering. The reason I did that was because I was offered a scholarship to study that. I have an idea of switching to quantity surveying as I heard it involves more office work compared to site work. Will QS firm hire civil engineering graduates? I do not mind starting form zero again. I really need someone experienced in the construction industry guide me on this.

Hi there! Thanks for your reply. May I know what does a QS normally do in a contractor firm?
